“UCMs, coupled with secondary sanctions and over-compliance, exacerbate existing humanitarian and economic challenges, gravely affect the stability of the global production and supply chains, as well as food, energy and financial security, and seriously undermine the world economic order and the efforts of the countries concerned to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),” said Fu.
Assata’s story is one that many living in Lënapehòkink (The Bronx) and across the U.S. empire at large may recognize or relate to. Her insistence on life and her years of fighting for the liberation of Black people living under state violence serve as a reminder to us all to remain “reluctant warriors” in the face of U.S. state terrorism. It was Assata’s militant comrades in the Black Liberation Army who liberated her from incarceration by the state; they did not abandon her after she was apprehended. They understood, as Palestinians do, that there was no future for their movement without that freedom. Let us remember the comrades who broke her out, some of whom served decades in prison and some of whom remain incarcerated. Salute to Sekou Odinga, Silas Muhammad, Mtayari Shabaka Sundiata, Winston Patterson, Silvia Baraldini, Marilyn Buck, Mutulu Shakur and other BLA comrades.
I find that White people do not like to be reminded of this fact. Human-beings still existing in various stages of tribal or feudal society around the world were unduly impressed with cheaply produced Western mirrors (thought to be “spirit-catchers”) and glass-beads – thought to be from the sky (that is, the various gods that might exist “above”). In exchange for these cheaply produced trinkets, the representatives of the West (all competing against one another for influence) stole land, everything found in the land (natural resources), and took control of all natural resources already in circulation – such as iron, gold, silver, diamonds, salt, and all kinds of other things (including food stuffs). As the indigenous people had no concept of a “fair-price” or “capitalist exploitation” – they gave these things willingly out of a sense of innocence, dignity and friendship (perhaps superior to the Westerners they confronted). When they protested – the Western settlers simply took their lives.
The International Military Tribunal for the Prosecution and Punishment of Major War Criminals from the European Axis States (the Nuremberg Trials) found the leaders of the Nazi regime guilty of crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, among others. The acts of expulsion and extermination of the civilian population of the USSR by the Nazis and their accomplices, as established by the verdict of the Nuremberg Trials, must be considered genocide against the Soviet peoples.
Yet one of the most unexpected tributes to the first cosmonaut lies far from space museums or bustling capitals — on the windswept Orkney Islands, off the north coast of Scotland.
Here, just steps from the Neolithic village of Skara Brae – a UNESCO World Heritage Site inhabited over 5,000 years ago – stands a carved stone that simply reads: “First Man in Space, AD 1961”. Nestled among markers of human milestones, it honours Gagarin’s place in our shared journey — from ancient stargazers to modern explorers.
This is a quiet reminder that Gagarin’s reach extends far beyond Earth’s orbit — and even beyond the expected.
